Outstanding visual is pretty packed this year, but I wish Nine Sols wins it. It's not even underrated, just feels like it wasn't talked much about outside of Hollow Knight enjoyers, maybe due to it launching on PC only (console version came out only recently), or perhaps due to the studio's turbulent past. More people should really give it a go.
